You are not wasting anybody's time and I apologise if I gave that impression. The only thing is, that it is very hard to work out what your problem can be without a bit more detail. Monte has assumed that you are using POST but you may not be.
When I did this successfully, I did something like:
put URL "http://table.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv? s=AAPL&d=11&e=1&f=2003&g=d&a=10&b=1&c=2003&ignore=.csv" into tData
(put the script on a single line)
This gives me a comma-delimited set of data covering Apple's November stock prices.
If you work out the parameters (a,b,c,d,e,f specify the dates, S is the stock code) you can construct the URL on the fly and then get the data directly.
I hope this helps but if I have misunderstood what you are trying to do, please ask again, perhaps including some of the scripts you are using.

I've done this without any problem so I would like to hear more details of your processing failures. Have you checked out the libURLSetLogField command? It is very good for debugging connection problems as it allows you to see all the underlying messages that are coming & going.

I am building a stack which will download quotes from Yahoo finance. However, the csv format download sends a file (table.csv) which seems to fail processing by the library. Any ideas on surmounting this problem?
